This decision was made in a suit against the Cotton Seed Oil trust. We see Lieut. Richmond Pearson Davis, U. S. X., of Statesville, X. C, was married to Miss Bonvier, at the residence of Mrs. W. S. Hancock, in Washington, on last Wednesday. We are glad to see the Ciovernor of Louisiana has passed his procla mation prohibiting the fight between Sullivan and Kilrain in that State. He called upon all the -officers of the State to look out for them. What a big State Texas is. The Foitworth Gazette says : "Texas has 5,000,000 acres of better land which is free to the settler. When that is gone she has 30,000,000 acres more for sale at $2 to $3 an acre, with forty years time to make payments." From Paris comes the report that Edison has invented a clock phono graph which strikes one o'clock and then calls out "dinner time," ten o'clock, "bed-time," and so on. Fa thers of marriageable families will do well to inquire into this. News and Observer. . Bisnor Lyman is out' in another letter to the News Observer on the peanut Question. He backs up his theory with the opinion of an cmi ncnt physician of Baltimore, who says he expects to see peanut oil come into medical use quite exten sivcly in the next few years. Bex Butler, in an open letter to Admiral Porter, says : "I fear that I have done for you what you could not do for yourself, immortalized you ; for I have given your name to a boasting, vain-glorious, calumnia tory lie. Hereafter forever it shall be ea led a 'norter.' " ho now, ac- x cording to Beast Butler, when you want to pronounce a statement a big lie, instead of saying it is a whop per, you must say it is a porter. TOWN TALK. Next week is inventory week at the Bull factory. Meeting of the Encampment to night. Election of officers. A wagon factory ought to pay undoubtedly, at Durham.

There will be no services at Trinity Church to-morrow night. Usual services in the morning. , Esquire W. T. Redmond is ma king some very nice improvements upon his - residence on Redmond Hill. A calamity will befall the town on Monday, when the devil's potent agency, the bar-room, will renew its fiendish work. On account of the inclement weather this morning the funeral of little James Southgate was deferred until 4 o'clock this afternoon. Other towns are building facto ries on the co-operative plan. Why can't Durham ? Don't be a knot on a log, but help move Durham. An advertisement together with a description of the Goodwin To bacco Cleaner and Granulator will appear in The Plant next week. We are in receipt 'of a poem sty led "The Rape of Peabodjr StreeV by the Bard of Owlsboro, which we withhold for fear of giving of fence.

The ex-Confederate soldiers of Durham county who will meet here on Thursday of next week, July 4th, for the purpose of organizing a County Association, are requested to assemble at the Courthouse at 11 o'clock, a. m., on that day. Let the veterans of our county manifest a lively interest in the laudable effort to establish a Sol (lifers' Home, by turning out en masse at the meeting next lhursday. Two Jim Dandies. Old Jere Rusk, Harrison's head of the Bureau of Agriculture, found out in his trip to his home, in. Wis consin,' that'his Wrestern constitu ency regarded Clarkson and Tanner as two "Jim Dandies." Now, fellow citizens, give us a few more railroads a little more rain, and another Board of Town Commissioners that wil do things hurriedly, then send "Old Man Jere" to inspect Peabody and Ramseur streets, and it he don t sav they are two "Jim Dandies" we will eei LiiiiL lijc uiu jjj an id uu. The Railroad Status. lYesterday afternoon, Mr. J. S Manning, attorney for the town, and Mr. R. R. Bridgers, Superintendent of fthe Richmond & Danville road left for Greensboro, where the track extension matter was again laid be fore Judge Gilmer, the town repre senting, we understand, that there was a mistake as to the northern boundarv of Peabody street, in the injunction granted a day or two ago. A decision . will probably be rendered by the Judge on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. A Tanner Rooster. Last Tuesday week a lot of straw was placed in the stables of Black well's Durham Co Operative Com pany, and on the same day a game rooster that frequented the stables was missed and nothing was seen of it until yesterday, when it was found under the pile of straw, where it had spent eleven days without food or water other than that which it may have been able to extract from the straw, which could have been but little. Mose McCown says when the rooster was extricated it appeared a 1 little weak, but immediately showed fight to another rooster that was in the lot. Plant Photographs. Mr. John B.
